The Adventurous Life of Amelia B. Edwards
Author: Margaret C. JonesPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350293997
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In Victorian England, Amelia B. Edwards was an iconic cultural figure, admired by Trollope and Browning for her best-selling fiction and by the wider public for her witty, thought-provoking travel writing. In later life, she became a celebrated historian, bringing fresh understanding of the world of Ancient Egypt to a fascinated public and founding the Egyptian Exploration Fund (Society). This new biography uses previously overlooked sources to tell the story of her fascinating and unconventional life - her travels, travails and feminist activism - as well as touching on her occasionally problematic views on race. In appreciation of a figure ahead of her time, it examines her involvement in suffrage and animal rights societies as well as revealing new insights into Edwards' loving same-sex relationships with Ellen Rice Byrne and Lucy Renshaw. In doing so, it reveals a versatile, creative, witty, independent woman, and a true pioneer of her time.

Book Description
Karl Marx's 'The Capital (Vol. 1-3)' is a seminal work that delves into the intricacies of capitalism, exploring the economic relationships between labor, commodities, and capital. Written in a complex yet engaging literary style, Marx's analysis illuminates the exploitation inherent in capitalist systems and offers a critique of the inequalities it perpetuates. The book's historical and social context, published in the mid-19th century, reflects the industrial revolution and the emergence of modern capitalism, making it a key text in the development of Marxist theory. Marx's use of empirical data and theoretical frameworks sets 'The Capital' apart as a foundational text in the realms of political economy and social criticism. As an influential figure in the socialist movement, Marx's insights continue to inform debates on class struggle and economic structures in contemporary society. 'The Capital' is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the roots of capitalist exploitation and the potential for social transformation.

CAPITAL

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics

Pages : 1644
Book Description
In the seminal work, CAPITAL, Karl Marx delves into the intricacies of capitalism, highlighting the exploitation of the working class by the bourgeoisie. Marx's writing is dense and analytical, filled with economic theories and historical examples that provide a comprehensive understanding of the capitalist system. Written in the mid-19th century, the book remains relevant today, offering insights into income inequality and the consolidation of wealth. With a mix of philosophical inquiry and economic analysis, CAPITAL continues to be a foundational text in the study of political economy. Karl Marx, a German philosopher and economist, was deeply influenced by the social injustices of his time, particularly the harsh working conditions endured by industrial laborers. His experiences and observations led him to develop the theory of communism as a response to the inequalities perpetuated by capitalism. CAPITAL is the culmination of Marx's life's work, reflecting his desire for social change and economic equality. I highly recommend CAPITAL to readers interested in political theory, economics, and social justice. Marx's examination of capitalism remains a vital contribution to the understanding of economic systems and their impact on society.
